A heavy, right-leaning display face with chunky, compact forms and irregular, ragged edges. Strokes are broadly consistent in thickness, but the contours look intentionally torn and splattered, creating a noisy silhouette and uneven terminals throughout. Counters stay fairly open for a distressed style, while spacing and letterfit feel deliberately loose and unpredictable, emphasizing an off-kilter rhythm over smooth texture.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, cover art, and punchy branding moments where texture is part of the message. It can work well for Halloween or thriller-themed titles, underground music graphics, and energetic event flyers, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or interface text due to its aggressive edge noise.
The overall tone is rowdy and mischievous, with a gritty, DIY energy. Its rough bite and slanted stance push it toward a slightly sinister, comic-horror feel—more fun and unruly than elegant or serious.
Likely designed to deliver an instant distressed impact—combining a forceful, slanted structure with irregular, gnawed contours to create a one-off, expressive voice. The focus appears to be on personality and motion rather than refinement or typographic neutrality.
The distressing appears baked into each glyph rather than applied uniformly, so repeated letters won’t look mechanically identical in their edge behavior. The texture becomes a dominant feature at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the torn silhouette and dramatic slant.
